With the Limited Run edition of #maniacmansion I finally have a copy of the poster that came either the original release. It is chuck full of hints and funny tidbits. #lucasarts#retrogaming
The #NES version of Maniac Mansion had an awesome soundtrack, probably one of the best soundtracks on the console IMHO. And this is a solid cover of "Dave's Theme". :thinkergunsunglasses:
There are many Maniac Mansion versions, including Meteor Mess 3D (2022) by @vampyregames. It's the Maniac Mansion remake in 3D with a voice cast.
Even Jeff has his own walkthrough! 😎
"Save early, save often" is not only Al Lowe's motto, but also the motto of Ronville's police station in #ManiacMansionMania Episode 54: CSI Ronville (2006) by Mister L.
I'm teaching my kids the values of the traditional point-and-click adventures, and we're currently about to finish #MonkeyIsland 2. Other classics like #ZakMcKracken and #ManiacMansion are on the to-to list, but I'm also looking for something new - and that's when I - somewhat late, admittedly, given that it was release some six years ago - discovered that the legendary @grumpygamer made #ThimbleweedPark which looks absolutely bloody amazing. And it's on sale on both Steam and GOG! This is going to be awesome! :-)
Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Zak McKracken, Maniac Mansion, Sam & Max and more wallpaper shenanigans available right here https://ko-fi.com/sayomgwtf/shop
They are entirely free to download! Just let me know which one is your favorite 🥰
Another late Christmas present, that I almost missed: #ScummVM is available through the #iOS App Store. Of the devices I own the iPad always seemed to be the best platform for casually playing old point and click adventure games. That is now possible. And what do I say. #ManiacMansion is fantastic on a tablet. What a great start for 2024. https://www.scummvm.org/news/20231230/
Since AGS 2.62 games doesn't run on newer Windows systems properly, I recommend to run my first game #ManiacMansionMania Episode 40 - Trapped in the Cellar with the latest @scummvm 2.8.0. version.
Did you know you can play my game in 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇵🇹 ?
Thanks to some art posted by @arcadehemingway on Twitter, I was able to complete my reconstruction of Gary Winnick's early sprites for the Edisons in Maniac Mansion (based on his original sprite sheets) to include Dead Cousin Ted!
